directed by sean penn, starring jack nicholoson. need to know more? this movie was weird. there were some zooms that made it feel like a bad youtube edit. it was also relentlessly depressing. i liked the mountains and the message that sometimes you're just crazy and it ruins your life. i didn't like that jack nicholson had a young hot girlfriend. does feel quite quintessentially 2000s.
well, it's a classic. i had fun. not much else to say. millions of gen x & millenial men can trace their lineage straight back to this film. everything always needs more steve buscemi.
i watched this on 35mm at the angelika in a very packed theater. it was surprisingly touching. more wholesome than a usual lanthimos. a very tight story. jesse plemons was the star, for me. i really enjoyed it.
i watched this in an auditorium at school with 2 of my students and a handful of classmates. i < 3 animation. just fun and nice. admittedly, not 100% of my attention was on the movie.
a slow month for movies — busy with school and life and things. more next month!
